Soda Spillage
Soda Spillage
I'm not sure if this should go here or in the detailing section... It's sort of both, really.
So... I was coming to work this morning and stopped to get a drink. I put the drink down after opening it just a crack while I was getting something out of the trunk. I closed the trunk and the soda falls off the console and begins spewing soda everywhere. Fine. I clean that up and head on my merry way to work.
I decide opening the windows might be nice as it is a really nice day today. Apparently some soda got into the passenger side window button as it is now sticky and I had to actually press it several times to get the passenger window to go back UP. Gah!
Anyone have any good ideas how to clean this out? Am I going to have to replace the button? Shop visit? Man, that would suck. Anyway, any good ideas anyone has would be appreciated.
Thanks!

no need to disassemble anything... spray some WD40 into the switch area and click the switch back in forth multiple times... this will solve your issue...
and have no side effects... to all trust me again!
another problem solved by... 'mr. clean'
